# Moonlight PC
2018-07-28 10:45:45 +00:00
[Moonlight PC](http://moonlight-stream.com) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This client is the successor to [Moonlight Chrome](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-chrome) for streaming on PC.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) and [iOS](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios).
2018-07-28 10:45:45 +00:00
This client is currently still in development (pre-alpha), but the streaming performance is already much better than the older Moonlight Chrome client on many machines. Test releases may be available for your OS on the [Releases page](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases).
